I swear I have been looking on Ebay and the Swap Threads every week for one that was reasonably priced with no luck! It was the whole display...the pink stocking the ornament, Signed, Sealed e/s, NYX lippies (never tried those before)...the chocolates... THE THOUGHT!!! Ok I'm all all over again!!​ I screamed when I opened the box... My son said...Wow Mommy, I'm getting you those same gifts for Christmas when I am a grown up because they really made you happy ...​ He said but that was not nice what you said...​ I said what did I say, baby?​ He said you said ...OH My GOD, I am gonna Kill her...He said, why would you kill her after she has been so nice ...Ok I started again.....​

ohhhh Dont cry Tish. Good Things happen to good people! YOU my friend are a great person!

oh yeah and I am with Christian.... Why would you kill her after she was so nice.... LMAO!

I just wanted to say a big big big thanks to my Secret Santa, you're seriously awesome! You totally went above and beyond and I heart you bunches and tons!

Don't worry girls and boys, I will post pictures later!

 

[ClareBear86]

i love this thread!!! its amazing!!

i wil so be up for doin this again!!!

 

[TISH1124]

^^ Me too

And all my special penpal santas will be getting lil periodic stuff from me when I start my job at the CCO next month!!

You guys have made this Christmas so special for me...My dh and I don't buy gifts at Christmas for ourselves because we sponser a underpriviliged family of 5 (2 adults & 3(kids) and we only allow my son to pick 2-3 toys...so this has been so special for me...You guys have no idea....I can justify giving and receiving without feeling like I am doing something against the agreement we live by. It's nice to give and get surprises from others outside of my immediate family!

I have absolutely loved doing Secret Santa this year. It feels so great to give a gift to someone you've never met. I love reading about how all of us are like little kids again waiting for the mail, lol. You ladies are wonderful and inspirational!

I completely agree. I loved looking at my elfs list, and picking things out for her. I loved getting things together and sending it off. I cant wait until she receives it...I love shopping for other people. Im so glad that with age,Ive become more interested in giving than receiving.

 

[TISH1124]

^^^ Ditto!!

FABULOUS!! the colors are so pretty!! Who was the SS??? Have you figured it out!!! I have seen the Medusa Makeup and YES your SS was VERY generous!! What a great person!!

 

[Dahlia_Rayn]

I'm not sure who my Santa was, there wasn't a name on anything...I could guess I suppose, by her location, but I think I'll wait until the big reveal...just one more surprise for me! I'm a surprise loving kind of girl!

The colors are so awesome, even prettier in person! I'm still in awe at the selection my SS sent...I totally cried! Yay for being a big emotional dork!

 

[TISH1124]

^^ I know doesn't the kindess and thoughtfulness of others make you just bawl. It's just the thought that they put it in when they pick out your gifts. So unslefish!! I just love this thread!

Enjoy your goodies ...That was a Fabulous gift!
